2 Samuel 13
1 Absalom putra Daud mempunyai seorang adik perempuan yang cantik, namanya Tamar. Amnon putra Daud dari istri yang lain, jatuh cinta kepada Tamar
Now after these things, it happened that Amnon, the son of David, was in love with the very beautiful sister of Absalom, the son of David, and she was called Tamar.
2 dan ingin tidur bersamanya. Tetapi itu mustahil baginya karena Tamar belum kawin dan tidak boleh bergaul dengan laki-laki. Amnon terus-menerus memikirkan hal itu sampai akhirnya ia jatuh sakit.
And he pined for her exceedingly, so much so that, out of love for her, he became ill. For, since she was a virgin, it seemed a difficulty to him that he would do anything dishonest with her.
3 Amnon mempunyai seorang sahabat yang sangat cerdik, namanya Yonadab anak Simea abang Daud.
Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent man.
4 Yonadab berkata kepada Amnon, "Pangeran, mengapa setiap hari engkau kelihatan begitu sedih? Ada apa?" Jawab Amnon, "Aku jatuh cinta kepada Tamar, adik Absalom saudaraku itu."
And he said to him: “Why are you becoming so thin from day to day, O son of the king? Why won’t you tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
5 Lalu kata Yonadab kepadanya, "Itu mudah saja! Berbaringlah di tempat tidur, dan buatlah seolah-olah sedang sakit. Jika ayahmu datang menengokmu, katakan kepadanya, 'Ayah, izinkanlah Tamar datang supaya diberinya aku makan. Jika aku dapat melihat dia memasak makanan itu di sini, aku bisa makan.'"
And Jonadab said to him: “Lie down upon your bed, and feign sickness. And when your father will come to visit you, say to him: ‘I ask you to let my sister Tamar come to me, so that she may give me food, and may make a small meal, so that I may eat it from her hand.’”
6 Kemudian Amnon berbaring di tempat tidur, seolah-olah sakit. Ketika Raja Daud datang menengoknya, Amnon berkata kepadanya, "Ayah, izinkanlah Tamar datang untuk memasak kue di hadapanku di sini; nanti aku akan mau makan."
And so, Amnon lay down, and he began to act as if he were ill. And when the king had come to visit him, Amnon said to the king, “I beg you to let my sister Tamar come to me, and make in my sight two little portions of food, so that I take it from her hand.”
7 Kemudian Daud mengirim pesan kepada Tamar di istana, katanya, "Pergilah ke rumah abangmu Amnon, dan buatlah makanan untuk dia."
Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him.”
8 Lalu Tamar pergi ke sana dan mendapati Amnon berbaring di tempat tidur. Tamar mengambil sedikit adonan, lalu di depan Amnon ia menyiapkan kue untuk dipanggang.
And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.
9 Setelah itu dikeluarkannya kue itu dari panci dan dihidangkannya. Tetapi Amnon tidak mau makan. Ia berkata, "Suruhlah semuanya keluar dari sini!"
And taking what she had cooked, she poured it out, and she set it before him. But he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Send everyone away from me.” And when they had sent everyone away,
10 Setelah semua orang keluar dari kamar itu, berkatalah Amnon kepada Tamar, "Bawalah kue-kue itu ke mari, ke tempat tidurku, dan suapilah aku!" Tamar menurut.
Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat from your hand.” Therefore, Tamar took the little portions of food that she had made, and she brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
11 Tetapi ketika Tamar mengulurkan kue itu kepadanya, Amnon memegang gadis itu sambil berkata, "Dik, mari tidur bersamaku!"
And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “Come lie with me, my sister.”
12 "Ah, jangan, bang!" jawab gadis itu. "Janganlah kaupaksa aku melakukan hal yang sehina itu! Hal seperti itu tak pernah dilakukan di Israel.
She answered him: “Do not do so, my brother! Do not force me. For no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not choose to do this senseless act.
13 Jika terjadi begitu, ke mana aku harus menyembunyikan mukaku? Lagipula, engkau pun akan dihina orang di Israel ini. Sebaiknya engkau bicarakanlah dengan raja, pasti raja akan setuju aku menjadi istrimu."
For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to you.”
14 Tetapi Amnon tidak mau menurut, dan karena ia lebih kuat, dipaksanya adiknya itu dengan kekerasan, lalu diperkosanya.
But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.
15 Tetapi sesudah itu Amnon sangat benci kepada Tamar dan kebenciannya itu lebih besar daripada cintanya semula. Lalu ia berkata kepada adiknya itu, "Ke luar!"
And Amnon held hatred for her with an exceedingly great hatred, so much so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Amnon said to her, “Rise up, and go away.”
16 Tamar menjawab, "Ah, mengapa begitu bang? Kalau kauusir aku, kejahatan itu lebih besar daripada hal yang telah kaulakukan tadi!" Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan.
And she answered him, “This evil is greater, which you are now doing against me in driving me away, than what you did before.” But he was not willing to listen to her.
17 Ia memanggil pelayan pribadinya lalu berkata, "Bawalah perempuan ini ke luar, dan kuncilah pintu!"
Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind her.”
18 Pelayan itu melakukan perintahnya itu. Pakaian Tamar adalah jubah panjang yang berlengan panjang. Pada zaman itu putri-putri yang belum kawin biasanya memakai pakaian seperti itu.
Now she was clothed with an ankle-length robe. For the virgin daughters of the king made use of this kind of garment. And so, his servant cast her out, and he closed the door behind her.
19 Lalu Tamar menaruh abu di kepalanya, menyobek jubahnya, dan pergi sambil menutup mukanya dengan kedua tangannya serta menangis pilu.
And she sprinkled ashes upon her head, and she tore her ankle-length robe. And placing her hands upon her head, she went forth, walking and crying out.
20 Ketika Absalom melihatnya, bertanyalah ia, "Apakah Amnon tadi melanggar kehormatanmu? Sudahlah adikku, jangan kaupikirkan lagi. Kan dia abangmu, jadi janganlah beritahukan hal itu kepada siapa-siapa." Lalu Tamar mengasingkan diri di rumah Absalom, dan ia sangat sedih serta kesepian.
Then her brother Absalom said to her: “Has your brother Amnon lain with you? But now, sister, be quiet. For he is your brother. And you should not afflict your heart because of this matter.” And so, Tamar remained, wasting away in the house of her brother Absalom.
21 Raja Daud mendengar tentang peristiwa itu, dan ia menjadi sangat marah.
And when king David had heard about these things, he was deeply grieved. But he was not willing to afflict the spirit of his son Amnon. For he loved him, since he was his firstborn.
22 Absalom dendam sekali kepada Amnon dan tidak mau lagi berbicara dengan dia karena ia telah memperkosa Tamar adiknya.
Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.
23 Dua tahun kemudian Absalom mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor, dekat kota Efraim, dan ia mengundang semua putra raja.
Then, after the time of two years, it happened that the sheep of Absalom were being shorn in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.
24 Ia menghadap Raja Daud dan berkata, "Ayah, aku mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba. Sudilah Ayah datang juga ke pesta itu dengan para pembesar istana."
And he went to the king, and he said to him: “Behold, the sheep of your servant are being shorn. I ask that the king, with his servants, may come to his servant.”
25 Tetapi raja menjawab, "Jangan, Anakku, sebab jika kami semua datang kami akan menyusahkanmu." Absalom terus mendesak, tetapi ayahnya tetap tidak mau datang. Ia hanya memberi restu kepadanya.
And the king said to Absalom: “Do not, my son, do not choose to ask that we may all come and be a burden to you.” Then, after he urged him, and he had refused to go, he blessed him.
26 Lalu berkatalah Absalom, "Kalau begitu, izinkanlah saudaraku Amnon ikut dengan kami." Kata raja, "Tak usahlah dia ikut."
And Absalom said, “If you are not willing to come, I beg you, at least let my brother Amnon come with us.” And the king said to him, “It is not necessary that he go with you.”
27 Tetapi karena Absalom terus mendesak, akhirnya Daud mengizinkan Amnon dan semua putranya yang lain ikut dengan Absalom. (Lalu Absalom menghidangkan makanan yang mewah sekali.)
But Absalom pressed him, and so he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king. And Absalom made a feast, like the feast of a king.
28 Ia memerintahkan kepada hamba-hambanya, "Perhatikan baik-baik, jika Amnon sudah mabuk karena minum anggur, aku akan memberi aba-aba, lalu bunuhlah dia. Jangan takut. Aku yang bertanggung jawab atas hal itu. Bertindaklah dengan berani dan jangan ragu-ragu!"
Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying: “Observe when Amnon will have become drunk with wine. And when I say to you, ‘Strike and kill him!’ do not be afraid. For it is I who commands you. Be strong and valiant men.”
29 Hamba-hamba itu melaksanakan perintah Absalom, lalu mereka membunuh Amnon. Melihat itu putra-putra Daud yang lain menaiki bagalnya masing-masing dan melarikan diri.
Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon his mule and fled.
30 Sementara mereka masih dalam perjalanan pulang, diberitahu orang kepada Daud, "Absalom telah membunuh semua putra Baginda--tak seorang pun yang hidup!"
And while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”
31 Raja bangkit, lalu menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan merebahkan dirinya ke lantai. Semua pegawainya ikut menyobek pakaian mereka.
And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near him, tore their garments.
32 Tetapi Yonadab anak Simea abang Daud berkata, "Baginda, jangan cemas dan jangan pikir bahwa semua putra Baginda sudah mati. Hanya Amnon yang tewas, sebab sudah jelas bahwa itulah yang dikehendaki Absalom sejak Tamar adiknya diperkosa oleh Amnon.
But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
33 Jadi janganlah percaya bahwa putra Baginda telah meninggal semua, sebab yang tewas hanyalah Amnon saja."
Now therefore, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ For only Amnon is dead.”
34 Sementara itu Absalom telah melarikan diri. Penjaga istana Daud melihat banyak orang datang menuruni gunung dari jurusan Horonaim. Maka pergilah ia kepada raja melaporkan hal itu.
Now Absalom fled. And the young man keeping watch, lifted up his eyes and gazed out. And behold, many people were arriving along a remote road at the side of the mountain.
35 Lalu Yonadab berkata kepada Daud, "Itulah putra-putra Baginda! Betul seperti yang hamba katakan tadi."
And Jonadab said to the king: “Behold, the sons of the king are here. In accord with the word of your servant, so it has happened.”
36 Baru saja ia selesai bicara, masuklah putra-putra Daud ke dalam ruangan. Mereka itu mulai menangis, dan Daud serta hamba-hambanya juga menangis dengan sedih.
And when he had ceased speaking, the sons of the king also appeared. And entering, they lifted up their voice, and they wept. And the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceedingly great weeping.
37 Absalom mengungsi ke istana raja negeri Gesur, yaitu Talmai anak Amihur. Ia tinggal di situ selama tiga tahun. Lama Daud berkabung untuk Amnon,
But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.
Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for three years.
39 tetapi setelah Daud tak bersedih hati lagi, ia sangat merindukan Absalom.
And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.
